Chris Eggers
Chris has been an employee since March of 2010 and is so quiet you would not know he was around and yet he has been invaluable in the kennel. Chris always gets his work done on time and is willing to take on additional projects. If he does not know how to perform a task, he studies the situation and figures out how to get the job done. He has recently has taken the lead on putting privacy walls up to reduce the stress for the dogs. And the most important thing to know about Chris is his love and compassions for animals. Congratulations Chris!!
